Fallout Shelter Makes $5.1 Million in First Two Weeks, Research Firm Says

Stupidity...

Well I bought everything, have hundreds of packs to open and didn't pay a single penny :)

ps: I would never pay a penny for that crap as the whole game would probably be worth only 50 cent or less. At least I have lot more complicated games and have to sell them for 30 cents or little more...

The fact that iPhone users are so willing to spend real currency on overpriced toys should come as no surprise to anyone.

cool. I haven't spent a single cent on it and I'm having a lot of fun, plus earning Game Center achievements... that's all that matters...

that way they can make more free games with achievements!!

(best part is that it doesn't even have ads...)

I need to grab this when I get a chance.

So weird how they always make stuff for IOS and then leave Android which has 80% of the market for 6 months later when no one will care any more.

So many idiots that fall for microtransactions. You can play this without purchasing anything, so why are people so stupid.

Like most mobile games, it's manipulative and the fun tapers off far too quickly. Is it less manipulative than other mobile games? Perhaps, but make no mistake, it's still a crap mobile game with shite mechanics at heart. Enjoyable at first, sure, but you soon reach a point where there's just nothing to do. Give it a few days and all of a sudden there's no more challenge and all mechanics are explored and predictable. Supporting your vault becomes easy to a fault, there's nothing in the way of exciting rooms to unlock, random 'threats' are a distraction at best, and the *only* thing left to excite you is unlocking more outfits and weapons -- anything noteworthy of which becomes so rare in the game's lunchboxes that it can take days just to find something you haven't unlocked before. And you guessed it, you can pay real world money for more chances at that one piece of fleeting joy. Hooray, Bethesda.

If it comes to Android, I'm tossing my Note into the trash bin!

It's a pretty fun game and I like not being forced to pay

Brad Shoemaker has bought way too many Lunchboxes...

I pity anyone who actually spends money on these "F2P" games.

I played it for a few days then quit since I've already got a few base-building games going at once and this one doesn't do much different other than having the Fallout name on it. Fun, but not for the long run. Log in, collect, tap here, send this guy there, open this, move this guy and girl there, repeat.

Sad, I've stopped playing it. It's interesting the first few days, but I've noticed once you get up to 100 dwellers the game gets buggy and crashes at that point you've opened most unlocks, lunch boxes are few and far between. I'm shocked anyone would pay to play this.

Can't wait to play it on my Android phone. I've never been so excited for a mobile game.

People can find other fun mobile games, but nobody needs to pay any money in this game to have fun.

just give us Android version and I will buy some lunch boxes. ohhhh yeah.

Can't wait for the Android version. I only got to play this for a little bit on an Apple device so I hope the port will be spot on.

All other company's who make these games are scum.

Bethesda make one and the world like loves them. Two faced or what

Another huge setback for the world of gaming trying to banishing the dreaded microtransaction.

they would of made more if they sold it for 5 instead of f2p,they should do a console/pc version of this
